Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaJames Buckley took ill during the filming of the outback scenes in Marree thinking he was having a heart attack, but it turned out to be indigestion from eating chips and lager too fast.
- GoofsWhen Simon is video calling Lucy in the internet café, the image of himself on the laptop screen is supposed to show the view from his webcam but is actually a completely different video recording: his head moves at different times, he speaks at different times and he seems to be in a completely different setting.
- Quotes
Will McKenzie: Playing the guitar badly, wearing beads, talking about 'one love' and pretending you are friends with Central American villagers - who, by the way, despise you - before heading back to your parents five-bedroomed house in Surrey, doesn't make you a spiritual person, it makes you a bell-end.
Ben: I think you're right about his song, Katie.
Will McKenzie: Oh, fuck off, Ben! You don't believe in 'song lines' any more than I do. It's just a way for you to seem interesting to girls because deep down you know you're boring and pretentious like your stupid fucking dreadlocks. Which, by the way, always look embarrassing on white people. They're not countercultural, they actually scream 'Oh, I've got a trust fund!' so get a normal haircut, you unbearable prick.
- Alternate versionsThe UK release was cut, this film was previously seen for advice. The distributor was advised the film was likely to be classified 18 but that their preferred 15 could be obtained by making reductions to two scenes involving crude humour.

Once the gang are reunited, they set out to explore the country, falling in with a group of pretentious travellers, who pretentious Will is desperate to bond with, because A, he is embarrassed by his friends, and B, he fancies his chances with a girl in the group.
It is a good move, that all the lads are not trying to pull girls this time around... As the joke of them trying and failing to have sex wore thin by the time the movie came around. This time it's only Will chasing a girl, and failing to have sex. Simon on the other hand is doing his best to get away from Lucy (the girl from the first movie, who has had a complete personality transplant since we last seen her) back in London.
Whilst it's better than the first, (let's be honest it could hardly have been worse) it's still not a patch on the TV show. Some situations are hilarious, but some (ie Wills song being the best example of this) the joke wears thin very quick, and it is just long and painful till it reaches it's conclusion.
The lads all know their characters so well they can play them in their sleep, just as well there is no character development. Will just replaces Simons character From the first movie, but he is a pretentious puppy dog following the girl instead of a naive one, and they all gave the level of performance you would expect -Harrison is the standout performer- from people who have played characters for this long.
Crude, mindless, foul mouthed and happy go lucky, the movie breezes along grabbing every easy laugh it can.
